Donald Trump: 'What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening'

“People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular,” Trump wrote, or at least his ghostwriter did. “I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration – and a very effective form of promotion.”

「The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident;」.-Sir William Jones

No that was what I asked to be translated. Which is why I added punctuation marks.

o, okay. It depends on context.
"You didn't say please" "Ты не сказал 'пожалуйса'"(the person being addressed as "you" is male)"Ты не сказала 'пожалуйса'"(the person being addressed as "you" is female). If you wanted to be a little more formal/polite, you could use вы instead of ты. It's not considered disrespectful if you use ты in any context, though. It's just a nuance. ETA: when you're addressing an older person, 10 years or so, you should use вы out of respect

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

Not well enough to be an interpreter(interpreters deal with spoken word, translators deal with written word), but I took a lot of lessons from a native speaker. I have yet to find a proper language immersion opportunity to fully master it, but I use film and radio. I also make use of my godmother and various Russians I know.
